I agree. However, I stumbled into the world of KV stores (like RocksDB, LMDB, LevelDB, etc..) last year, and what is most surprising is that they all stop in the same place. I understand that they should do one thing and one thing well, but it is still disappointing when you have to implement things like replication, sharding, and indexing yourself.
There really aren't even that many DBMS that are KV (like redis) out there to handle it either. They are normally much more complicated (like adding SQL layer on top of it).
